1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: Someone who's a difference maker for the Giants is Logan Ryan,

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: and he joins us right now. Hey, Logan, it's Moosa, Maggie.

3
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 1: How are you how you guys doing We're doing great.

4
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: How are you first place? New York Giants? How does

5
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: that sound? That sounds good? Man. I like the sound

6
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 1: of it for sure. Uh. We should get this business

7
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: all the way though. This Giant Report is brought to

8
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 1: you by HSS, the official Hospital of the New York Giants,

9
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: and by town Fair Tire. Nobody beats Downfair Tire, nobody.

10
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: All right, Logan, So first off, obviously, congratulations on hanging

11
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: on for that win in Cincinnati. I'm just curious, you know,

12
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: what happens your mindset or the sideline when you see

13
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: your starting quarterback leave the game with a hamstring injury. Um,

14
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: I just don't I didn't even know what the injury

15
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: was at the time. I don't know the severity of it,

16
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: don't know now, don't know, didn't know it then, um

17
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: so I him go back in the game and then

18
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: he so I'm come back out. So our mindset doesn't change. Defensively,

19
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: you don't play, you know, with your starting quarterback on

20
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: the field. So to us, it doesn't matter what the

21
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: situation is. We gotta go out and put out the

22
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: fires so um or firefighters, no matter if the turnover,

23
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: if someone got hurt on offense, we had to kwonbark.

24
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: We go out this year, we've got to go play

25
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: great defense. We gotta control, we can control, and uh

26
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: it has no bearing on us. And we gotta go

27
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: out there and finish the game and and get turnovers.

28
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: Regardless who's that quarterback, our goals to get them and

29
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: find a way to win a game. Logan is that

30
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: your mindset is that a team midset because it seems

31
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: to be a concept that Joe Judge really leans into,

32
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: not to steal or from the Patriots, but the you know,

33
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: the do your job mentality, being singularly focused about what

34
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: you need to do as an individual to help out

35
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: the team. Yeah. I think it's a common sense mindset.

36
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're worried about who's playing quarterback on

37
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: your team, or if Daniels gotta you know, on a

38
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: hamstring or a broken toe nail, that has nothing to

39
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: do with cover in a J. Green. You know a J.

40
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: Green is gonna run past you, so you gotta focus

41
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: on what you gotta focus on in order to give

42
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: your chance, your team the best chance to win. So

43
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 1: no matter what's going on on offense, There's been times

44
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: where I had to get evaluated for a play and

45
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: come back into game. There's been times where, um, you know,

46
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 1: we've had players going in and out the game defensively

47
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: and we have to adjust on the fly. So I

48
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: just think that in the heat of a battle, you

49
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: gotta keep your mind on the goal and that's uh

50
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: to win the game. In order to win the game,

51
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta hold up your end. And I

52
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: just think that's just that's just what any team that

53
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: I've ever been on has to do in order to

54
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: be a good one. Logan just finishing up some things

55
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: from the Bengals before we turn our attention obviously to

56
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: the Seahawks, and we were watching them on Monday night

57
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: last night. But you know, defense played really well. Obviously,

58
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: you're you're facing a backup quarterback, but they have weapons

59
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati, and and you came up with with the

60
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: big fumble recovery and all that. That was great, Um

61
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. Those are game winning plays. But

62
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: we're then the Bengals start marching down the field and

63
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: you know, tough rough in the past, they're calling Leonard

64
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: Williams tough call on Darnay Holmes of defensive pass interference

65
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: as that's kind of transpiring. I know it was a

66
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: big deal for the Giants where you guys wanted to

67
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: clean up, you know, allowing scores at the end of halves.

68
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: What was going on in that final drive and and

69
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: was that fatigue or what happened there? Well, the final

70
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: drive of the game, we we got a sack phone

71
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: but to win a game, sorry, the second to lass

72
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: the touchdown drive? Part of me? Then does he Higgins

73
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: such show yeah that the touchdown drive is a tough

74
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: call and rough in the past there Leo's being Leo

75
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: getting pressure. Um, it's unfortunate penalty. It's a penalty, nonetheless,

76
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: and the you know, the the question will call on

77
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: the pass interference from the goal line on third and

78
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: ten um and the end zone. I give him the

79
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: bottom on the on the one yard line. So you know,

80
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: you don't want penalties ever, but guys are trying to compete,

81
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: Guys are trying to do their job, and you know,

82
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: I thought Darnay got his head around. It looked like

83
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: he did direct didn't call it that way. You know.

84
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: There was a tough call and give the them on

85
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: the one yard line. So they had thirty yards of

86
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: penalties that helped them aid down the field. And we

87
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: don't want to ever have penalties, but we don't want

88
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,839
Speaker 1: to take away aggressiveness of guys trying to do well.

89
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: So I think that's what aided them in that one.

90
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: And um, they scored. We put our hands team out

91
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: there ready to recover on side kick, they kicked it deep,

92
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: our offense converted. Looked like it was going to converta

93
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: a first down to end of game. We had a

94
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: penalty there. We can't afford that we punted. We go

95
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: back out there on defense and we win the game.

96
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: So there's no fatigue there because we went back out

97
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: and responded. It just unfortunate calls. Um, the up and

98
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: down of a football game, the ebb and flow of it,

99
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 1: and it's all about how you respond. And I felt like, uh,

100
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: we responded strong by winning the game. Yeah, you certainly did,

101
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: and shared with the play there and then the recovery

102
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: to end it. Look, we want to ask you about

103
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: a couple of your teammates and what you're seeing from them,

104
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: some of the younger guys in that defensive backfield. I

105
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: thought it was a tough call on Holmes at the end. Um,

106
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: I were in agreement with you. Maggie and I talked

107
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: about that yesterday. What about what you're seeing from darn

108
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: A Holmes at the cornerback spot and where he is

109
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 1: right now in his development? He's getting better each and

110
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: every week. He is, he said exactly. Um, he's a

111
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: young player, but I feel like his personality is is

112
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: a little bit older than his age. I feel like

113
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: he's he's wise for his age, and he has a

114
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: great um mindfulness to him. He's very um you know,

115
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: has a strong faith and and believes in himself. And

116
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: UM he's a really good kid. And UM, he's doing

117
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 1: everything that we asked him to do. We're a complicated defense.

118
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: We changed from week to week. I feel like I'm

119
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: very demanding as a leader, um on how we practice

120
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: and how I go about my business and how I

121
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: want our dbs to play and how our coaches want

122
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: us to play. And he's all about it. He competes. UM.

123
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: We put him in a lot of different positions in

124
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: our defense to allow myself to make more plays, to

125
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: allow Jabrill to make more plays. Darnay has to do

126
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: other things, and it's a sacrificial sport. And when you're

127
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 1: out there, you're one of the eleven that has to

128
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: do something. Sometimes you have to get the dirty job

129
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: for someone else to get the glory. And on plays

130
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: I've made other guys on the team and sacrifice for

131
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: me to make that play, um plays that other guys make.

132
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 1: I've done some dirty jobs and how to take some

133
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: tough duties and tough assignments for other guys to be

134
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: able to make their plays. Not just the beauty of defense,

135
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: and that's just the beauty of this team's sport. And

136
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: he had he had the biggest matchup of his career

137
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: in Tyler Boyd, who I feel like probably the best

138
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: slot receiver in football. How he was playing, and I

139
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: feel like Darney held his own um in the game.

140
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: So I'm happy for him, and I want to, you know,

141
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 1: when we're just in the middle of the road right now,

142
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: so I just want to continue to improve. Another guy

143
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about, Logan is We saw

144
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: him making his debut on Sunday against Cincinnati, Uh, Maggie.

145
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: I chat with Carl Banks yesterday a little bit about him.

146
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: What do you expect? What do you see from McKinney.

147
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: We saw some hi star at Alabama, you know, second

148
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: round draft choice. What do you think McKinney is going

149
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: to provide this defensive backfield when he gets right, when

150
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: he's given the opportunity, versatility, whatever the coach is asking

151
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 1: to do. I mean everything around here and on this

152
00:06:58,279 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: team has earned and I feel like he has to

153
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: earn that by getting opportunities and practice, um doing well

154
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 1: with that, letting the coaches determine what his role is

155
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: in the game plan and when he's in the game plan,

156
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: and to do well like he did, and then that

157
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: should expand or increase based on the game plan. I mean,

158
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: we're a game plan. We're a game plan defense guys.

159
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: We try to get as many talented players as we

160
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: can that work hard in our selfless and we're gonna

161
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: put them all out there and get the best defense,

162
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: the best chance we can to beat Seattle. So I

163
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: can't all you exactly what he's gonna do from weekend

164
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: the week out because it changes. I don't even know

165
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: the position I'm playing yet I'll know tomorrow what I'm

166
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: playing against to give us the best shot to beat

167
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. So I just think that he's one of us.

168
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: He's one of our secondary guys um that is selfless,

169
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: that works hard, and he's done that all year and

170
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: now he's getting some opportunity to play in the games.

171
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: And I'll be watching just like you guys. Well, Logan,

172
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: Ryan is our guests. Of course, New York Giants defensive back.

173
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: And you know, you have a bit of a history

174
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: with the Seattle Seahawks, and a good history for you

175
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: because you were part of that Patriots team that won

176
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: one of the most memorable Super Bowls of recent history,

177
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: Malcolm Butler at the goal line. And now you see them. Well,

178
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: actually you're part of two of the most memorable Super

179
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: Bowls in recent history with a comeback against the Falcons

180
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: and then Malcolm Butler at the goal line. But you

181
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: have some history with the Seahawks. You're watching DK metcalf

182
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: Logan last night and throughout this season. What is the

183
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: challenge of covering him? I mean, how do you even

184
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: approach that? Yeah, I mean the challenge is what you know,

185
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 1: what you what everyone's gonna talk about his size and speed. Um,

186
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: it's not normal. It's um it's rare. You know, there's

187
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: not too many people on the planet that look like him.

188
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: But you gotta cover. I always felt like it's not

189
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: covering the man, it's covering where they're going. So he's

190
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: got to figure out. You gotta prepare the best you

191
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 1: can to figure out where they're gonna go, and you

192
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: gotta cut him off in those areas. The quarterbacks gotta

193
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: gotta deliver him the football, and they run certain routes

194
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,599
Speaker 1: in football, they can't just freestyle it like at the

195
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 1: Nike Combine. So, um, you just gotta figure out what

196
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: the concepts are and do your best control that. Um,

197
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: we got some tall, big corners. I think James Bradberry

198
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 1: is pretty good, and I think James Bradberry has made

199
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 1: a career in covering Julio jones Is and some guys

200
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: in those NFC South So I think brad will be

201
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: on him some. I think everyone will be on him. Son.

202
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a I think it's a team game.

203
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,479
Speaker 1: I think it's us versus the the Seahawks offense, and

204
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 1: I just think we're going to do our best to

205
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: limit decay the best we can. But he's definitely a

206
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: great talent, and he's an ultra talent. But that's why

207
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: you You prepare so hard and work so hard so

208
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: you have a a lot of belief in yourself when

209
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: you go out there on Sundays to cover guys like that.

210
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: What makes Wilson so difficult of a quarterback to go

211
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: up as a defensive unit. He rarely makes mistakes when

212
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: they're playing well. When he's playing at an m v

213
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: P level, he doesn't make mistakes. UM. When he's about

214
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: to get fack, he throws the ball away when nothing's

215
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: not there, he runs for four yards. He rarely throws interceptions.

216
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,719
Speaker 1: He takes what the defense gives them. And I think

217
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: he's one of the best, probably the best deetball thrower

218
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: in football. He puts the ball far and I it

219
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: gives his opportunity to catch it, it gives the receiver's

220
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: opportunity to come down with it. Um. He rarely puts

221
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: him out of play, and he doesn't really put him

222
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: He doesn't leave him shorten inside too much. So to me,

223
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: he just one of the elite quarterbacks. UM. He's extremely

224
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: confident and relentless and uh, he's a He's the type

225
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: of guy and the type of the reason that you know,

226
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: I work countless hours to go out there and compete

227
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: against I mean, that's that's how you stack yourself up

228
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: as a competitor, is going against the best. And he's

229
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: one of the best. And I just don't think he

230
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: makes too many bad decisions at quarterback logan is is

231
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: he different at all from the quarterback that you faced

232
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. We'll see, you know, we'll see,

233
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: But I think he is. I think, um, you know,

234
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: they're letting him throw it down feeling more. I think

235
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 1: his receivers are a little um faster, more vertical, um.

236
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: But they're getting back to the run game. Two. I

237
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 1: think in the Super Bowl he probably had thirteen completions

238
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 1: I think, you know, and maybe twenty past attempts. I

239
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 1: think he's gonna have more more than twenty pass ettens

240
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: against stuff. So I definitely think they trust him more

241
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: with the ball, and he and well honest, and I

242
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: see why he does good with it. And he just

243
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: gives inspiration every five eleven quarterback like I was in

244
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: high school, to keep doing it. You know, Russ, that's

245
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: me when I see him playing, I'm like, man, maybe

246
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: I should have stayed at that, but um, they told

247
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: me I was too short. I had to go to corner.

248
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: So it worked out for both of us. But yeah, man,

249
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,839
Speaker 1: I I just I like how we played. I can't

250
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: wait to play against him. I honestly think it's it's

251
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: our biggest challenge of the year, Um, because it's the

252
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: next game and all these games matter right now. Chat

253
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: with Logan, Ryan Moosa, Maggie with you here on this

254
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,079
Speaker 1: Tuesday midday. Logan one more on Wilson Um and he

255
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 1: mentioned it what what I love watching about him is

256
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: is the way that everything he mentioned, but also the

257
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 1: deep throws, because he throws those moon balls that basically

258
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: come down with the rain where his only it feels

259
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: like his receiver. He puts the ball to where only

260
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: his receiver can make a play on the football. And

261
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: he was a defensive back or even if you're running

262
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: stride restribe with the receiver, he puts it where to

263
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 1: the only his white out to make a play on

264
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: the football. He puts it far out and you gotta

265
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: run underneath it. And they got two guys, um that

266
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 1: can run underneath them. That's really I mean lock it

267
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: In and Metcalf are really fast receivers. Ones big is

268
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: one small, but they both know how attract the deep

269
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 1: ball and run underneath it. And a lot of time

270
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: at dB you've got guys like Tom Brady Aaron Rodgers

271
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: who will back shoulder you, which is a hard throw

272
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: to make with it's on the back shoulder a lot

273
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: of times on the line, you don't get your head

274
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: around on time. Well, we know it with you know,

275
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: Wilson's gonna be a home run ball. It's gonna be

276
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: far and deep. You gotta be able to run underneath it.

277
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: You gotta be able to track the ball, and dbs

278
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: don't track the ball as often as receivers do weekend

279
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: and we got in practice. It's it's not how it's practiced.

280
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: So uh, to me, my conditioning is gonna be paramount.

281
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: I mean we're coming on, We're gonna have a west

282
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: coast trip. There a lot as far as you can

283
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: get off a flight and go play a team that's

284
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: throwing the ball deep. So I believe in just extra conditioning.

285
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: Um be able to run all night long and be

286
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: able to track the ball that in the sky. I'm

287
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: not saying it's the easy thing to do. But you know,

288
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 1: we're paying professionals, and uh, we're gonna be ready for

289
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: the challenge. I'm how my guys ready for the challenge

290
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: for sure, and we'll see how we stack up. Look,

291
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: and I know, obviously you said it's the defense's job

292
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 1: to go out there and no matter what's happening on

293
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: the offensive side of the ball for the Giants. But

294
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: if and if Daniel Jones is not available for this game,

295
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: is is there a mindset not for the defense obviously,

296
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: but is there something that you guys have to maybe

297
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: lean into, like even more of the underdog scenario because

298
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: you're gonna be flying cross country playing a play a

299
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: team with a winning record with a backup quarterback, like

300
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: you have to make sure that your mindset, you know,

301
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: permeates the rest of the team and that the team

302
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like they're at this massive disadvantage if you're

303
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: with your backup. Well, you you answered it. No matter

304
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: what you know, no matter what's going on in offensive

305
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: defense is gonna do what's gonna do? I mean I

306
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: think you you answered the question. Great. My mind, my

307
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: mind says what makes Logan Ryan? It's my mentality. It's

308
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: just my belief in myself and my belief of my

309
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: hard work, and our teams belief in our hard work.

310
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 1: We're underdogs. Like guarant I don't need to know. I

311
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: don't need Vegas to pick this. When I guarantee, you

312
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 1: will be underdogs. Will probably be underdogs every game we

313
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: play for the rest of the year. And I just

314
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: think you gotta live with that, and that's cool because

315
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: you don't need a lot of people to believe in

316
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: you in life to accomplish things. And you know, I

317
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: was never really the top dog going into anything. Ever.

318
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: I always had to outwork people, outlast them. It's a

319
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: game of attrition. It's a marathon, and we're in the

320
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: middle of the pack. We started off dead last of

321
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: the pack. We're in the middle of the pack and

322
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: we're trying to finish strong. We're finishing strong. We're picking

323
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: some guys off, but we still got a way to go,

324
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: and we got some some good teams here in Seattle.

325
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: I think is a really good team. I think they're

326
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: really good offense. I think that you know, whatever we

327
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: have going on, that we gotta believe in ourselves and

328
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. I mean, I think everyone's at some

329
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: point in their life gotta believe in themselves, and backups

330
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: become starters and rookies become premier players. In this league.

331
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: It just it just happens with more games and more

332
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: plays and more practice. And I'm all I can preach

333
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: is the do what you do in practice and bring it,

334
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: bring in something under the lights and and see what happens. Look,

335
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: and are you watching the rest of the teams in

336
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: the NFC East like you did? You? You know, did

337
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: you watch Washington and Dallas on Thanksgiving? The Eagle game

338
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: last night against the Seahawks. I watched. I watched whatever.

339
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: I mean, if I'm not watching film, I'm watching whatever

340
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: games on TV. I like football. I'm a fan of it.

341
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't matter. I set it after my game.

342
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: It really doesn't matter. I mean, it's also close. If

343
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: this team wins, if that team's wins. So literally there's

344
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: a division race is irrelevant at the moment until the

345
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: next team plays, and then they're in the league for

346
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: half a day. Then we're in the league. Who cares.

347
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: We gotta play Seattle. I think that will that will matter,

348
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: And to play Arizona, that will matter more than the

349
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: division race at the moment. It's just way too tight

350
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: to call. You don't call anything five games out. It's

351
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: like a third of the season left, So it doesn't matter.

352
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: I think what really matters is Russell Wilson and his

353
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: deep balls. I think that's what really matters to me

354
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: at the moment. Look, the last one for me is

355
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: what's the Special Teams meeting going to be like this week?

356
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: We know that's Joe Judge, that's his bread and butter.

357
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: And unfortunately, special teams was giving up some plays against

358
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals. Yeah, we already had it wasn't good,

359
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: so was uh was there some some screaming or was

360
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: it just more there were some other efforts and efforts

361
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: and m effers and stuff, and you know, and that's it.

362
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: I mean, didn't didn't do too great in that, but

363
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: have made great plays all year long, and just it

364
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: was a bad game. You gotta gotta clean it up,

365
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: get back to the fundamentals and and play better. And

366
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: I believe we will, and I believe we're gonna work

367
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: at it all week to do so. And uh, there's

368
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: a price to pay, and the price to pay is

369
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: in practice so we're prepared for it and whatever we

370
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: gotta do to clean it up, I think that guys

371
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: are willing and able to do it. And um, there's

372
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 1: no excuses really being made or anything like that. So

373
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: whatever whatever mistakes are made in a game, you're gonna

374
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna guarantee we pay for it and practice then

375
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: and uh, well we'll clean it up hopefully for the

376
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: next game so we don't have to pay for it again.

377
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: Hey Logan, we appreciate the time this afternoon. Hopefully you

378
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: and your family are a happy Thanksgiving, happy holidays, and

379
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: good luck in uh in Seattle on Sunday. All right,

380
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Thanks you guys, Logan, m F and Ryan.

381
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure that special Teams meeting didn't go well. It

382
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: was a disaster in Cincinnati.
